Nicks is one of the best receivers out there not named Johnson when he's healthy, not to mention one of my favorites. Randle could be real good but a Nicks type talent is hard to replace. Nicks' health will have a lot to say about his contract and how big it is and his Giant career.

Are you really unable to understand the point I was making in reference to my quoted post? If so, I don't know how clearer I could be.

If I had to hazard a guess, I would guess that you actually believe that we have a better chance of resigning Nicks if he has an injury plagued year this year.

If that's your point, then you are wrong. You are correct that the Giants won't pay top dollar to sign Nicks if he has an injury plagued season but, contrary to your "point", that will increase the chance that Nicks leaves in free agency since there will be at least one team that will make the mistake of giving Nicks a deal based upon what his production would/should be if he is healthy.

If Nicks has an injury plagued year, he won't command top dollar, which would in fact make it easier to sign him. Whether or not we would try is up to debate, but it being easier isn't. I don't think if Nicks has a year like last that there'd be a team out there willing to give him a $10m/yr+ contract.

However, where in any of that do you get that I think we should root for Nicks to have an injury plagued year? And to that end, you completely missed the point.

It's a fascinating theory, but the problem is that there are at least a half a dozen teams that routinely overpay for talent, and Nicks would only need one to come his way.
